ABOUT US

The Project

We are a group of journalists, designers and programmers affiliated with the John S. Knight Journalism Fellowship program at Stanford University. Our team consists of three Venezuelans, two Bolivians and an American. We believe technology is a fundamental tool in the search for the truth.

The polarization of the Venezuelan conflict compelled us to build a platform that brings together relevant content from different sources. Here, you will find the voices of journalists, human rights activists, NGOs, government leaders and opposition leaders. Here you can decode what is happening in Venezuela.
